"I just love going to Cosmetic LaserWorks because I always get 'real' information and direction. They are always willing to tell me 'the good, the bad', and the TRUTH! The staff is always helpful and smiling. Some treatments can take over an hour and the nurses are always pleasant and easy to talk to. I have recommended a lot of people to CLW."Lorraine T. – Los Angeles CA

Skin Tightening and Rejuvenationwith the Titan LaserThe procedure that many are calling an effective alternative to a face lift is known as the Titan Procedure. The laser works by stimulating the collagen that lies below the surface of skin. And is generally considered pain free by most clients. When the skin ages collagen fibers will stretch resulting in sagging skin. The Titan Laser heats the collagen layer which results in it contracting and thickening. Additionally it causes the formation of minute injuries in the dermal layer of the skin. These "injuries" result in the production of collagen to occur.

The procedure can be utilized on a variety of areas including the face, neck and body. The most frequent areas receiving Titan Laser treatment is the facial area. In the facial area the forehead, neck, cheeks and jowl are the most popular areas for treatment. In addition other regions such as the stomach, thighs, and arms can also be effectively treated. The procedure is especially effective at treating the more difficult regions of the body such as the knee and elbows regions. Shown below are some "before" and "after" results on lower faces.

Long-term results of the procedure. Since the laser works by stimulating the formation of new collagen, results will vary and can take approximately three to eight months to materialize. While this laser procedure is very effective it does have limitations. Individuals with advanced skin aging coupled with sun damage and excessive wrinkles may not be the best candidates for the Titan laser procedure. And if you are adverse to a surgical intervention, this is a procedure that you may want to try.
